RNS Number : 5953I International Public Partnerships 24 November 2025
Appointment of Chair Designate
International Public Partnerships, the FTSE 250-listed infrastructure
investment company ('INPP' or the 'Company'), is pleased to announce the
appointment of Sarah Whitney as an independent non-executive director and
Chair Designate effective 24 November 2025.
Sarah will succeed Mike Gerrard who will step down as Chair at the conclusion
of the AGM in 2026, having announced in September 2025 his intention to retire
after eight years on the Board. Sarah will work closely with Mike and the
Board to ensure a smooth transition.
Sarah, a Chartered Accountant, brings an exceptional track record to INPP,
with an extensive executive career advising on finance and strategic issues in
the real estate and infrastructure sectors. She is a former PwC corporate
finance partner, and has held senior executive appointments at both DTZ (now
Cushman & Wakefield) and CBRE. Sarah brings complementary non-executive
expertise, and currently serves as non-executive director at Bellway plc
(Senior Independent Director), JP Morgan Global Growth & Income plc
(Audit Chair) and Regional REIT Limited. Previous non-executive roles have
included Chair of the Supervisory Board of BBGI Global Infrastructure SA and
non-executive directorships at St Mowden Properties PLC and Tritax EuroBox.
The appointment concludes a comprehensive search led by the Nomination and
Remuneration Committee and its executive search adviser.
Mike Gerrard said: "I and my fellow directors are delighted to welcome Sarah
to the Board of INPP. Her experience in the governance of infrastructure,
investment companies and business more generally, complements and strengthens
that of the Board. She is the ideal person to lead the Board in the next phase
of the Company's continued strong track record of infrastructure investment
performance."
Sarah Whitney, INPP's Chair Designate, said: "I have long-admired INPP and the
highly attractive investment proposition it offers to shareholders looking for
a long-term portfolio allocation that provides sustainable, inflation-linked
income and opportunities for compelling capital growth. I'm excited to join
INPP and to work with the Board and our Investment Adviser to maintain the
Company's great momentum. I look forward to building on INPP's strengths and
creating long-term value for shareholders."
Sarah joins the Board and the Audit and Risk, Management Engagement, ESG and
Nomination and Remuneration Committees with immediate effect and will assume
the role of Chair at the conclusion of the 2026 AGM.
